Jeremy,
That is exactly right. I am referring to the deflection without the
pushrods attached.
The gap between the hinged surfaces is more than the 1.5mm called for
in the manual; however, I have not checked whether that's where the
deflection is being restricted.
I am assuming the neutral position (zero-degrees) to be when the
aileron is aligned with the trailing edge of the wingtip. I think that
makes sense because that would make the most streamlined situation to
be zero-degrees.
